Reach 7x7

Why I am fundraising for the Reach Foundation

Seven minutes. Seven days. Seven challenges.

This mental health awareness month I’m taking part in the Reach 7x7 challenge.

I’m committing 7 minutes a day towards my own mental health by completing seven unknown challenges across seven days to help raise funds and awareness for The Reach Foundation’s work.

What are the challenges? I can’t tell you, because I don’t yet know what they are! I’ll receive a new one each morning to complete and post the results here on this page.

Entering the unknown is challenging - but being open to the random challenges life throws at us can help us grow. And I'm up for it. 

Across the same seven days, other Australians will be rising to the same challenge, bravely stepping into the unknown together. It’s a mental health movement on mass.

Please support my fundraiser and Reach’s vital work by donating today!

Day 5 - Be Still

Friday 28th Oct
Today’s challenge was To take a few moments of stillness and connect with the present moment This photo was taken by a friend earlier this evening. I’ve relied on this friend at numerous times over the years for support and guidance (and not always over a beer!) These are moments that are incredibly special to me and I don’t always appreciate the impact it has on my own well-lbeing. It’s hard to fully express what it means so I’ll have to just leave it at that

Day 4 - Curiosity

Thursday 27th Oct


I had a few moments today where I was able to consciously take a moment and go deeper with a conversation with colleagues I’ve worked with for years . I learned a few new things about them that genuinely made me feel like I had only just begun to scratch the surface of who they truly are


Half way through the #reach7x7 challenge and I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings

Day 3 - Movement

Wednesday 26th Oct
Day 3 - Movement I’m committing 7 minutes a day towards my own mental health by completing seven unknown challenges across seven days to help raise funds and awareness for The Reach Foundation’s work with youth mental health This challenge focuses on movement. The challenge was to move your body and be a completely authentic version of yourself. I’ve played the piano since I was a kid and it always leaves me with a sense of peace and calm.

Day 2 - Gratitude

Tuesday 25th Oct
Day 2 - Gratitude I’m committing 7 minutes a day towards my own mental health by completing seven unknown challenges across seven days to help raise funds and awareness for The Reach Foundation’s work with youth mental health This challenge is all about Gratitude. I didn’t have to think too long for this. My son (who turned 1 last week) has taught me plenty this last year. He lives every moment and sees the wonder in the smallest things. I’m often left feeling that he is the wisest person I know. He’s currently fascinated by birds. Thanks George!
